Large, bright viewfinder features 96% frame coverage
The D90 has a precise eye-level
pentaprism viewfinder with approx. 96%
(centered) frame coverage and an easy-
to-view 19.5mm eyepoint (at -1.0 m
-1
),
so photographers can concentrate on
capturing the moment. The built-in
16-frame grid display can be activated to align the horizontal
and vertical lines in your image or assist in more pleasing
compositions.
Built-in, pop-up flash commands
Advanced Wireless Lighting
The D90 is equipped with Nikon's i-TTL flash control,
renowned for consistently accurate and balanced flash
exposures. The built-in flash has an 18mm lens coverage
and works as a wireless commander, controlling up to two
independent groups of an unlimited number of remote
Speedlights and providing incredible creative lighting
control — on location or in the studio.
Ergonomic superiority in a light, compact body
At a remarkably light 620 g/1 lb. 6 oz., the D90 is designed to
meld with a photographer's hands. Its compact body offers
a stable grip and an intuitive layout of controls that make
operation and creative flow natural and effortless.
New Advanced Scene Modes
When you're not sure which camera settings are appropriate,
simply rely on the Advanced Scene Modes. Just turn the
mode dial to the appropriate icon: Portrait, Landscape, Close-
up, Sports or Night Portrait. Unlike traditional scene modes,
the D90 will automatically optimize the exposure, image
processing, Active D-Lighting, and Picture Control to get the
most out of your subject matter. What's more, the D90 has
exceptional low-noise performance and accurately adjusts the
camera settings whether VR (Vibration Reduction) is activated
or not, so you can expect beautiful, crisp images, even in
many low-light scenes.

Live View with 3-in., 920k-dot, high-density color LCD
Striking images often require uncommon
perspectives. With the D90's Live View
function, you can shoot effectively without
looking through the viewfinder. Simply
press Live View's dedicated button for
instant access and the 3-in., approx.
920k-dot LCD with its 170-degree viewing
angle supports your Live View shooting. There are three
contrast-detect AF modes which let you focus on any point
in the frame: Face priority AF automatically detects up to five
faces and focuses on the one calculated to be the closest.
Wide area AF offers a large AF area suitable for handheld
shooting and normal area AF provides focus with pinpoint
accuracy when using a tripod.
Quick responses and shooting at 4.5 frames a second
The D90 captures crucial moments thanks to its impressive
0.15-second start-up time, 65-millisecond shutter release time
lag (CIPA standard) and ability to shoot at 4.5 frames a second
for up to 100 shots*.

memory card.
Innovative D-SLR movie function: D-Movie
A new idea for D-SLRs, the D90 offers a movie function,
allowing you to shoot movies in three different motion JPEG
formats: 320 x 216 pixels, 640 x 424 pixels and HD720p (1,280
x 720 pixels). Now you can capture life's moving moments with
added drama by using many of Nikon's NIKKOR lenses, including
the AF DX Fisheye 10.5mm f/2.8G ED and the Micro-NIKKOR
lenses. The shallow depth of field can give your movies a more
creative and emotional impact. An additional benefit is the D90
image sensor, which is much larger than a typical camcorder
for higher image quality and exceptional high ISO performance
during low-light shooting.
*Autofocus is not available when recording movies. Matrix metering is used
regardless of the metering method selected.
Freeze the moment,
capture the movement —
the tools are all here
D-Movie can be played on the camera's LCD monitor, as well as on a computer,
TV or HDTV screen.
